A description of the experience
Chandogya Upanishad
All this universe is in truth Brahman. It is the beginning and end and life of all. As such, in silence, give unto It adoration.
Man in truth is made of faith. As faith is in this life, so he becomes in the beyond; with faith and vision let him work
There is a Spirit that is mind and life, light and truth and vast spaces. It contains all works and desires and all perfumes and all tastes. It enfolds the whole universe, and in silence is loving to all. This is the Spirit that is in my heart, smaller than a grain of mustard seed, or a grain of canary seed, or the kernel of a grain of canary seed. This is the Spirit that is in my heart, greater than the earth, greater than the sky, greater than heaven itself, greater than all these worlds.
It contains all works and desires and all perfumes and all tastes. It enfolds the whole universe and in silence is loving to all. This is the Spirit that is in my heart, this is Brahman
To This I shall come when I go beyond this life. And to This will come he who has faith and doubts not
Thus said Sandilya, thus said Sandilya
